    Double bucket draining system

    I don't know how much you water but recommendations say 20%-30% run off. After just 1 watering(1.5 gal of nutrient solution in one 5 gal pot) I have 1/2 a gallon of run off. I could not water twice without flooding the bottom of the pots. You should water every 48 hours at least.

It's the 3rd time using this coir and 1st time using dolomite lime. I water at 5.8 and it comes out at 6.8. Anyone seen this...

    she will stay in veg as long as she gets 18 hours of light or more per day. If you reduce your light hours to 12 per day and let her have complete darkness for the other 12 she will flower. Make sure it`s realy dark when she is sleeping, do not disturb a sleeping cannabis plant with light. She...

    I can tell by that picture that your light is not strong enough. You should know that when your reduce hours to 12 on 12 off she will more than double in hight! Unless you have a MH light.

    Double bucket draining system

    Just double up your buckets and drill a dozen 1/4 inch holes in the bottom of the top bucket. Drill a hole as close as possible to the bottom on the side of the lower bucket to fit what ever sized pipe you have. I recommend around 1/4'' diametre, cut in 2 1/2'' lengths. Seal around your pipe...

    Coco coir pH issue

    3 days into drying my bud (with pics)

    at 50% humidity, i would not let it dry more that 5 days before starting the cure.

When I have a lot to dry at the same time I use large rubbermaid...
